What are the features you MOST miss from Reddit? (Bonus pts for tech dudes-- any idea if they're on the dev- hoz?) (lemm.ee)

For me-- Lemmy is getting dangerously close to pulling me away from Reddit, and I love it, but still, there's a ways to go in terms of 'critical features,' yeah?

So then, here's two of mine below. What are yours?

I'd still very much like to HIDE threads I'm not interested in. Otherwise, no matter what stream I choose (Subscribed | Local | All), I keep seeing the same topics, and it can be downright difficult paging through streams to see new stuff from more communities. That's not good, frankly.
I very much want the ability to create *more* custom streams. On Reddit, those streams are called "MultiReddits," and let me tell you, they rock! For instance, my one "Series" multi-reddit consists of these:

/r/1950sx /r/1960sx /r/andykaufmanx /r/Asterixx /r/blackadderx /r/CoenBrothersx /r/Comics_Studiesx /r/DepthHubx /r/fathertedx /r/FawltyTowersx /r/Flintstonesx /r/FoolUsx /r/HannaBarberaCUx /r/Holmesx /r/InconvenienceStorex /r/jimjefferiesx /r/lettermanx /r/ligneclairex /r/Muppetsx /r/newsradiox /r/OldSchoolCelebsx /r/peeweex /r/pennandtellerx /r/philipkDickheadsx /r/postapocalypticx /r/silentmoviegifsx /r/TheAdventuresofTintinx /r/TheFlintstonesx /r/TNGx /r/tosx /r/venturebrosx

So that's just /one/ of my 12+ stream groups ("MultiReddits"), and I love how one can parse them so specifically by community, you know?

I'd absolutely adore it such functionality could extend to Lemmy / the FV, one day.

fwiw I believe there is a proposal for this right now on github.

personally I'll probably miss flair, and easily knowing my "karma" count (maybe I'm missing that?). me like big numbers.

It's good actually that there's no global karma count: it means you won't have the reason to farm karma by reposting/posting bad quality content => more good OC in your feed
